After the pontoon bridge foundation site of the Yellow River crossing was destroyed in Puyang, our army, which had been streamlined again because of the transportation to the rear, continued to march into Weinan City, entered the territory of Huazhou, swept all the way to Baima and Lingchang cities, and at the same time destroyed and demolished several ferry crossings and bridge sites along the Yellow River one by one.

At least in the near future, we will not be used to pose any real threat to our army.

At this time, the outpost of this army, in Yanjinkou, Yancheng County, finally encountered the first formed northern army.

When we arrived here, it was more than a thousand miles away from our starting point in Qingzhou, and it was almost close to the Tropic of Cancer line that I expected in advance. And here, it is said that it is the place where Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang and Wen ugly in history.

It is estimated that there are about tens of thousands of people in the rough step, which is about the size of a full military order, and the other party has also discovered us and entered the routine outpost battle.

"The Flying Heroes? ……”

Brother Pengju, who was in the forefront of riding a horse, couldn't help frowning. Because the other party seemed to be very decisive and neat, the ranger patrols on both sides just chased and fought rough and rough hands head-on, and the large team in the rear was already accompanied by smoke and dust, and soon the whole team rushed up.

Looking through the high-powered mirror, the big sorrow in the center is a blue background with red edges, vaguely embroidered with the style of winged Xiong Xi, and on the other big flag, there are only two words. The enemy is so aggressive that it seems as if they want to eat it in one fell swoop, or crush him as a vanguard, in order to seize some kind of upper hand.

But not far from Pengju, Chen Yuan, the secretary who followed up with the army, breathed a long sigh of relief, and he could finally stop and breathe for a while, he only felt that his feet were as heavy as lead, and below his calves, he had long lost consciousness.

The process of encountering the enemy and fighting all the time has made people a little numb and mechanical. It's just that, unlike those Hu Mazi who run as soon as they hit it, this enemy army is well-organized and well-equipped, and it is not a good person at first glance.

As the named pioneer, even his brother Pengju, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help but feel a little pressured, and he always rode a horse to the front in person, urging the formation to meet the enemy's formation.

With the sound of the horn, a slightly higher soil slope was temporarily grabbed by the pioneer banner as a reference to the central axis and the target direction. I saw that in the corresponding horn sound one after another, several columns of backpacks in the state of marching were almost trotting, taking off their belongings and converging under the dirt slope.

Divide into several phalanxes around the flag, then gasp and shake the tarpaulin backpack to the ground, and then begin to prepare the knives and weapons on the spot.

The chariots and horses that followed the columns also rushed to the edge of the dirt slope with the sound of accelerated whipping, and the enemy turned their backs to the inner ring, untied the noose and saddle, and pulled to the other side. With the carriage as the baseline, the auxiliary soldiers of each team began to dig trenches and pile up earth.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalry corps scattered and shrunk also appeared and gathered on the two flanks one after another, and the artillery corps of the battalion also slowly followed under several horses.

But before the battle, the two wings went out to meet the enemy, but the hats and helmets were inserted with white feathers, and a number of irregular guns scattered, who were responsible for harassing and pinning down the enemy with sparse shots, and covering the rear formation.

Therefore, they are often brave veterans of the arts, and they are quite good at the battle, and only the first round of fires will knock the leaders and leaders of the opponent to the ground, creating a little chaos and stagnation.

At this time, the rear team had already completed its initial reorganization, and they turned around the front of the enemy and quickly walked around the front before the rain of arrows from the enemy counterattack fell, and slowly retreated into the rear column of the brigade.

At this time, the array of soldiers in the first row had already begun to lay down their weapons and squat on the ground, and they stood up forward with their bent legs against their hands. The first row of the last row of the hand, the long gun stretched forward, against the hand deliberately set aside on the concave edge, the right to support and fix.

In the second row, the flat end of the gun body passes over the armpit, and the mouth of the gun is slightly oblique upward; The third column was raised over the shoulder, and in the blink of an eye a three-tiered firing surface was completed.

As the essence of the method of warfare, it is nothing more than to master the three basic tactics of horizontal formation, column, and phalanx, in which the horizontal team emphasizes the concentration of firepower, but the reaction and speed are insufficient in pursuit and following the march, and once it moves, it is easy to affect and destroy the formation because of the ups and downs of the terrain.

The flanks and flanks were also weak points, so they often spread out horizontally long enough diagonally to compress the enemy's room and depth for roundabouts.

The combination of large and small phalanxes is mainly used to deal with the mobile assault of the enemy's cavalry, and while protecting the relatively fragile baggage chariots and horses in situ, there are enough enemy and facing surfaces, but the same level of firepower is also apportioned and weakened, so more emphasis is placed on the tactical choice of long-lasting and durable warfare and rear-attack.

The columns are divided into marching columns with a small amount of weight on the periphery and a small amount of weight on the inside, and offensive columns that reduce the enemy's on-face attack when they are fully armed and rush forward. Generally, a small number of licensed white soldiers are at the front, and the gunmen are in the center to shoot and cover, and the spearmen follow the layout behind the palace.

Therefore, from the top to the chief officers of each battalion and down to the individual assistants, they must be strict about their position and role, and be proficient in all kinds of changes in formation. The faster and more efficient the formation change, the greater the room for reaction and compulsion when encountering the enemy.

For this reason, even Chen Yuan, who is a book clerk, has endured countless hardships, shed countless sweats, and grinded countless blood blisters on his hands and feet.

Because according to the requirements of this army, the civilian subordinates of the army must also have at least the basic ability to use a gun or a knife to fill the battle line.

Therefore, after every exercise, I almost lie on the bed board exhausted, wishing I would die like this.

Then he was forcibly driven by Brother Pengju, who was also tired and sleepy, to soak his feet in hot soup and pick bubbles, take food and tidy up his housekeeping, and drag his tired body to participate in the study class of the night school in the army.

Therefore, after a few months, the swelling and fatness caused by the half-hunger in Liangshan have been gradually replaced by the hard tendons under the skin. It's just that she seems to be getting farther and farther away from her original expectations.

Chen Yuan, who was on the side of the banner in the formation, was also so cranky, and he could hear the sound of the neat and dense volley of fire in the front formation, which made him suddenly come back to his senses, he was still on the battlefield.

The endurance of this Flying Bear Army is obviously much stronger than that of those Humazi, and after the initial intensive casualties, they will even scatter in line to dodge and evade, and then grasp the node of the next gun shot, and reunite.

Therefore, although like a mowed weed, after leaving behind a long line of casualties, it was still swift and resolute, relying on an overwhelming numerical superiority to approach the front, and then facing the mouth of the gun with all his courage, shouting and roaring with the front line of the war, caught in the hand-to-hand encounter.

For the first time, the triple horizontal team composed of gunners was also broken through, and they were not allowed to put on gunguns, and they fell into a melee with these stubborn enemies. It wasn't until they broke through the four horizontal columns in one go that they were stopped in a stop.

The artillery team's reloading and firing were just ready to be completed, but they could only look at the melee and the staggered lines of the enemy and the enemy and sigh helplessly. This result made Brother Peng Ju's thin face suddenly turn red, but he still didn't move.

Just turning their heads and giving a few orders, the guards who remained by his side suddenly showed a certain expression of joy and fanaticism, and went down the dirt slope towards the recrust, armed with short guns and swords, and collided head-on with those enemies who broke through, fighting face to face, and covering those spearmen, the guns and wounded who had fallen into the disadvantage at close range, from the front line of the breakthrough.

At this time, the two wings of the column were also under the threat of the enemy forces that had been completely suppressed, and quickly shrank to the perimeter of the dirt slope, and their backs were against the section by section of the car wall that was laid out, and they reconstituted a large hollow phalanx that was not very regular.

At this time, those artillery teams that had been loaded and ready to standby finally had a place to play, and they were hurriedly turned around, and at the enemy troops who were outflanked by the tail ranks, hundreds of sub-pills burst out in unison, and a group of people turned on their backs, and flesh and blood flew sideways.

It was to disrupt and disperse the enemy's outflanking momentum, and the last horse team that might have been cut off also responded to the battle. However, in the face of the enemy pressing again, he was completely caught in the tragic killing that entered the siege in all directions.

At this time, the enemy's shooting team also came forward, throwing and shooting high on the slope, only to see bullets like rain and arrows flying like locusts, staggered back and forth with various arrays, swords and blood lines blooming, constantly some people were poked down and slashed and knocked away, and some people were dragged and torn and rolled to the ground, and were repeatedly trampled to death by more surging legs and feet.

It's just that this man and horse, under the compromise deployment of Brother Pengju, is not blindly on the defensive, but uses some of the fire oil bombs and fire thunder bombs they carry as the finale and mobile support, and throws them there where they are in danger.

They almost used fire, thunder, and artillery bombardments to first blow up and break through the enemy's assault, and then took advantage of the chaos to concentrate the short counter-attack of the new forces to kill and wound them on a large scale, mobilizing the enemy troops to reinforce the place, and then using the fire curtain spread by fire and oil bombs to cover these protruding men and horses. Or use the thrown fire curtain to cut off the enemy's support several times, and annihilate the remnants on the spot.

It was a stroke of genius that almost frustrated the enemy's key breakthroughs without advancing an inch.

Therefore, after several rounds of fierce fighting, the besieging Feixiong army only compressed the battle line under the slope, and even the obstacles laid by the carriage could not be crossed, and they were blocked in the repeated struggle for the gap, and with the exhaustion of the rear archery team, the rain of arrows fired back became thinner and thinner.

It's just that as the battle drags on, both sides are exhausted and weakened, but it is clear that the enemy has the upper hand and more in overall numbers.

And at this moment, suddenly a loud alarm was heard from the enemy formation, and those enemy soldiers who were fighting in the middle of the battle also involuntarily, dazed or a little sluggish, turned one after another.

The archers in the rear of the enemy formation also broke out into a certain noise and commotion, but it was a cavalryman with a wind and thunder banner who had already rushed into their array with a spear, and then turned to abandon his spear and wave his sword, rushing left and right to slaughter.

Brother Peng Ju breathed a sigh of relief, knocked out a few stray arrows and flew on his horse, personally held high the battle flag in the center, led a small team of horses, and followed the narrow route opened by the front-line soldiers, and suddenly broke down into the enemy formation.

The infantry team is the backbone and support of the battlefield, which can be attacked and defended, and is shaped like a felt board; The cavalry is good at attacking and not defending, and is like an outwardly wielding hammer.

With infantry and soldiers, the enemy is fought head-on, and the elite cavalry of children is used to find opportunities to flank the enemy, and finally shaken and crushed, which is the most common iron felt combat method of infantry and cavalry coordination.

In addition, there is an artillery crew accompanying the infantry team, which is also powerful and indestructible, and can break the formation or defend the column, both offensive and defensive, and still has special effects on the city wall, but the corresponding fire is slow and very vulnerable at close range, and it needs the accompaniment and protection of the infantry team.

Therefore, the advance and retreat are all fired by infantry and artillery, and complementing each other is the way to be invincible.

The leg was scratched by an arrow, and Chen Yuan, who was soaked in blood and coagulated on the trouser tube, grinned in the small book beside him, recording these feelings.
